Closing keynote: PostgreSQL's Time to Shine: The most disruptive force in open source since Linux

Date: 2010-12-07Time: 15:30 - 16:20Room: Berlin 1+2

In the $26B database industry, mainstream relational workloads have long been the cash cow business of Oracle and others. While MySQL won an important but small new category of application developer they never threatened to unseat the top proprietary database
vendors in their “bread-and-butter” business. That's all changing
now. We will explore what we as community members, contributors and
commercial supporters of PostgreSQL must do together to accelerate
PostgreSQL's position as the most disruptive force in open source
since Linux.
